Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
i’m kind of interested in seeing if there is a distinction between MAGA and QAnon supporters within MAGA. The fact that Republicans are telling Trump they support the release of the Epstein files should at least suggest that they are not bowing to their king on every issue as before. -

2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
I think what eventually happens if more Auto qualifiers are added is an intra-conference playoff that doesn't determine a "conference champion" but determines remaining playoff spots. For example, if SEC had 4 auto qualifiers, something like top 2 SEC teams qualify automatically and get a "bye' that weekend into the playoff and then the seed 3 plays seed 6 and seed 4 plays seed 5 on "conference championship day" to lock up the remaining 2 auto qualifier spots. Solves the issue of meaningless SEC championship games (from a playoff perspective) and adds an additional high $$ game to sell to the networks. -

Should Traffic Controllers be paid during shutdowns? And should private planes receive the same access as commercial airlines during flight restrictions?
Using the terms "GA" or "private planes" is a hugely broad brush because it's not just private jets. There is absolutely GA low-hanging fruit that, in my opinion, should be grounded first in the event of a shutdown. For example there's a shitload of Cessna 172 and Cherokee student pilots clogging up the system, requesting VFR flight following and a Class Bravo clearance for their flight from Denton to Waco. Not to mention their departure tower is already handling 4 touch-n-go's in the pattern (half of which want a short approach) and 5 in line waiting for takeoff. That should be the first to get cut and would help alleviate both tower and enroute ATC: no pattern work at a towered field and VFR on your own. Another would be instrument students who want to knock out 4 practice approaches on a single IFR flight plan (each with the published miss please!) at Conroe, Hooks, and then Sugarland. Those take up far more ATC bandwidth and patience than a Gulfstream on a standard departure/arrival whose going to get in/out of the area quickly. After that you could work your way up through grounding piston, then turboprop, etc. using either engine type or MTOW, maybe even adding a Part 91 vs. 135 element to it. Point being if a government shutdown forces us to start grounding aircraft, there are many different ways to split up the GA world that would have a meaningful impact on alleviating ATC's job. And the private jets would likely be quite far down that list. (Except Teterboro, that's its own animal and no idea how to manage that through a shutdown except grounding flights). Agree 1,000% with this. -

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
To further derail I have LIBBY and don’t borrow audiobooks often but there are some fantastic BBC radio plays that I like to listen to. Many Sherlock Homes and Agatha Christie mysteries and a fantastic lord of the rings series. They are actual productions not just reading the unabridged works. It’s really sad to me that whole medium is likely gone forever I will download the occasional novel if I’m going to be on a long road trip but I read so much faster I usually find my mind wandering. And I’m not interested in Alvin and the chipmunks speed
